S MAGAZINE ★ 18 AUGUST 2019 23
was buying my wedding ring,
I said, “Please don’t spend a lot
of money, because I’ll probably
just lose it.” We ended up buying
my wedding ring in Vegas on the
day we got married. As for
a holiday, we’re not going away
for summer – trying to be
ecologically aware – but Charlie’s
already booked a holiday in
Barbados for Christmas.
My perfect Sunday is... going to
see a film with the kids and then
maybe having a Sunday roast at
a pub or at home. Or going
somewhere outdoorsy like
Richmond Park, Hyde Park or
Holland Park. My husband would
like all that, too. Then the kids
would go to sleep and we’d have
our perfect evening.
My favourite place in Britain
is... my bed. I am a homebody
and I love our neighbourhood.
In Ealing it’s quick to get to the
countryside or central London,
it has Waitrose, but it has Lidl, it
has pound shops and boutique
shops. It keeps it real.
I am currently reading... The
Tattooist Of Auschwitz, which
is a true story. I now have got to
the point in life that when I read
and watch things, I need to be
learning something.
The best day of my life was...
It’s a cliché, but having my kids
and getting married were the
best days and I can’t put them in
a pecking order or there will be
warfare in the house. My younger
son sometimes asks me if
I love him more than my other
son, so I don’t want to go down
that road.
If I had half an hour left on
Earth, I would... be with my kids
and my husband and a table
full of truffles.
